On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a fairly clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out harsh floral dry hopping upfront with dry crackery malt. Flavour is strange, with an odd, herbal dry hop character and dry biscuity malt. Something went wrong here, but I can't put my finger on it. Not very good.

On cask at 12 Kings, pods a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out the nasty detergent of the bare beer, along with fresh lychees. Flavour is totally fucked up, with disgusting detergent and other strange unintentional chemical notes, with juicy lychee on top that ain't making this any better. The base beer should be thrown out and everything related to it. Undrinkable and shameful to put out such a product.

Draft - Grapefruit and weedy notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Light herbal and pine with a touch of weed. Nice caramel sweetness to balance. Well crafted.

Hazy blond color, generous head. Fruity aroma, including light tropical. Smooth mouthfeel it doesn't feel as strong, the malt is delicate, the hopping is resiny, not as fruity as I remembered.
Very good.

Hazy blond. The aroma is a blend of gentle piney resins, white grapes, light tropical, very light mint. The mouthfeel is distinctively lean and dry, crisp; the hop character expresses supreme quality, more resiny and piney, a bit citrusy.
Different than last year, but equally wonderful.
2017-07-11, bottle, 7-4-8-4-15-38
Last bottle of the batch/season; this is likely more than 3 months old; the lovely aroma of grape and fruit is not so evident, but it still has a penetrating resiny and piney aroma; the mouthfeel is dry, the hop flavor is very piney, a bit dank, resiny.
Still an excellent beer, with moderate signs of age.

Golden color, hazy, with small head. Lovely dank, piney and citrusy hops, crackery malts, from the bottle it also has a Riesling note.
Wonderful.
2017-04-07, draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver, 9-4-8-5-17=43
The aroma is dank, with hint of spicy tobacco. Less carbonated than in other bars, with strong dank hopping, a lot of character. Excellent.
2017-03-30, draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver, 414ml, 9-4-8-4-17=42
The aroma is fruity and dank; the mouthfeel is lean, the hop is strong, resiny, a bit piney, lightly dank.
Cheers Adrian!

Golden color, clean, poured without head. The hops in this beer are very pungent, quite dank and piney, with some manure in the final; the malt base is pale, delicate, almost crisp; the flavor is more powerful than the aroma. Long piney and dank final.
I'll try to have a bottle too.
Excellent.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Murky blond color. Smells like orange flavored cold medicine; fruit and chemicals. Moderately sour, a bit fruity, loaded with chemicals (band aid, alcohol, diaper); astringent and lemony final.
Disgusting beer, a joke, if it wasn’t for the fact that money are charged for that.
The brewer must have the pride for his work and the integrity/honesty for pulling this one from distribution.

Cloudy, pale, No head. The nose has pear sweetness but something strange, maybe a bit of brett? Utterly phenolic, which is overwhelming nail polish. Just a touch of pear fruitiness, and no it isn’t nearly enough to make up for the issues.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very pithy and soapy, with detergent and pear skins. Flavour is extremely soapy, with loads of detergent, light pear skins and fairly prominent lacto. This is a detergent bomb. Something went very wrong here. No good.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of stone fruits upfront, with notes of kiwi and melon, along with pith, and biscuity malt. Flavour is wonderfully tropical, with lots of kiwi, stone fruits, resinous and piney hops, and biscuity malt to back. Wonderful complexity to this, with a pithy, tropical fruity finish. This is really excellent.
